Their site isn't processing discounts consistently. You can combine the BSP discount with the WELCOMECCTEN or WELCOMEMPTEN discounts. If you apply the coupon discount first, the BSP discount will be 10% off of the regular price. But if you apply the BSP first, the coupon discount will be off of the BSP price... So you should always apply the coupon discount first.
However, this issue is worse. I ordered Ocean's 13 on HD-DVD. The price is 26.99 before any discounts. It is over $25 so qualifies for free shipping. The price for BSP members is $24.29. It still shows free shipping, all the way until the final click to process the order. But on the receipt, it shows they suddenly charged me $2.48 for shipping!!! My order history shows it as well. I will wait until it ships, then contact customer service. They better give me a credit. I have a printout showing the free shipping... Assuming they give me my credit, I got a great deal. I had a $10 virtual GC from a previous rebate, so only $12.95 out of pocket, and I'll get a $10 GC back (rebate) and $1.15 from FW.

I messed with it for a long time trying to get the BSP, coupon and Pay Pal to work together but it never would, so I was happy to just get the BSP 10% off AND the welcome10 10% off combined with free shipping and rebates. Plus, since I was not restricted by the PayPal or Google Checkout rules about pre-orders, I went ahead and preordered some upcoming titles I want, so the total percent off was more than the $10 would have been anyway and I don't have to hunt for deals on them when they come out (Simpsons Movie, Harry Potter 5, POTC 3, etc.).
The only problem is now I got this email from them saying my order is delayed for security reasons or some nonsense:
Has anyone else received this? I was hoping to at least get the new 2 disc Hairspray I ordered soon, since it's out, but if I have to wait "a few days" just for them to contact me about whatever it is they think is a problem, it may not show up until the December releases.

The coupon worked for me in the wee hours of 11/30, then when I tried it mid-day on 12/1, it was dead. So I think they planned a month-end expiration for this one. I tend to doubt it will come back. As we get closer to Xmas, stores can get away with charging what they like as shoppers become increasingly desparate for those last-minute gifts. (Just my theory).
